Boot loader failed, missing? - Mdk 8.1

Okay, i'm quite certain now that rebooting a Linux OS is asking for trouble every time!

I'm running a dual boot Linux Mandrake 8.1/Windows 2000 (each on their own drives) and for some odd reason Linux is no longer booting up. I tried updating through the installation CD and got the following error with the Boot Loader installation:

Installation of Boot Loader failed. The following error occured:
Fatal: open /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.8-26mdk: No such file or directory

Now, I know it was there the other day!
I rebooted to do a few things in Windows and this problem arose on rebooting.
